@Oaktavia you getting much pilling (think that’s the right term) on yours?
I’ve worn mine only a few times and im getting these fluffy looking threads starting to pop up.

[Oaktavia]

@Rustygate37 hmm no I do not have any of that. Do you have a cat?

[Rustygate37]

@Oaktavia nah, definitely don’t.

Just a couple of days on a golf course cruising around in a golf buggy. Didn’t even go bush searching for my ball either.
I’ll keep at it

Yours looks cool as though, hopefully I’ll get there too

@Oaktavia what is your take on wearing this in the heat? For myself: having worn this a bit during the last weeks, I have to say I find it quite warm overall. Almost like a thin short sleeved sweater. Super comfortable etc, but perhaps really more for cooler days.... Also started wearing it without T-Shirt for the same reason..

@Tobi experiencing the same- with a good old-fashioned Schiesser undershirt (i always wear these) and a thin tee, it is a little too warm. currently wearing it open, it only helps a little. fabric does not breathe very well.

I agree the fabric is not exactly breathable however for me when wearing without any under layer it sits quite loose and allows for air flow, had it on a couple weeks back in Croatia in 33c heat and felt fine.

Wore it out to lunch today, temp was 27°c. Swapped it back out for a tee when I got home. She can get a bit warm especially with some humidity. Looks the goods though. The Misso approved, so that’s always a good thing.

@Tobi another heat wave will tell is which starts today. But for me, I'm still used to kong sleeve shirts, so short sleeved anything feels light.

@Oaktavia what is the verdict on warm weather. I’m on the fence (living in North Texas).

@michael.rose0107 this fabric is pretty heavy in general I feel. I am in San Antonio and if I have to spend a lot of time outside during the summer, I wear something different. This is wearing mine without an undershirt as well.

This is still an amazing shirt and I wear mine to the office often. I just do not spend much time outside wearing it.

[michael.rose0107]

@Ral1121 Thanks for the update! It was very helpful.

[Oaktavia]

@michael.rose0107 I have a warm weather tolerance as I live in the foothills of Appalachia and wear heavy IH gear daily. With that said, this shirt is pretty easy wearing. Seems to breathe well. I recommend it 100%.

[michael.rose0107]

@Oaktavia Thanks! I’m trying to build up on short sleeve shirts. The highs right now is staying around 98 and I need a few shirts to cover the Summer.

[Ral1121]

@michael.rose0107 I am the same way as you in wanting to build up some short sleeve summer wear. While it is not a short sleeve, I do primarily wear it with the sleeves rolled up and I find it breaths pretty well. Look into finding the cotton linen shirt IHSH-443-IND. it is one of my favorites to wear when it is hot and I feel it is better wearing in the hot summers we get here in Texas. Won’t be long before we are seeing weather above 100 consistently for the next couple months.

@Ral1121 Yeah, I picked up the IHSH 444. It was nice to get as it was one of the first release for S/S 2026. I was able to enjoy on a recent trip.
